WATER MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT – Adds to existing law to provide for the funding of water infrastructure projects.

This bill creates a permanent $30 million annual funding stream from Idaho's general fund for the Water Management Account to support statewide water infrastructure projects. It directs the Idaho Water Resource Board to use these funds for repairing, upgrading, and expanding water systems - including aquifer recharge, reservoirs, pipelines, and efficiency improvements - to benefit agricultural, municipal, and industrial users. The bill requires that no more than 50% of funds be spent in a single district unless no other projects apply, and mandates annual reports on project progress to the legislature. It aims to advance water sustainability and support Idaho's 2024 settlement agreement for eastern Snake Plain water users.
